Hooray for Israel

hi everyone!! sorry this kind of turned into a bi-annual email jaja life got busy! I spent my last 2 transfers in Chuy, a town half in Brazil and half in Uruguay, possibly my most favorite area ever. I'm not sure how but I've reached the end! I'm going home in 5 days! These past 18 months have meant everything to me, I have felt more joy that I thought possible and developed a personal relationship with my Savior that I cherish more than anything. I know the gospel is true. The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ. I love Jesus Christ, I´ve loved watching the influence of the Savior change the lives of the people out here in Uruguay.  The message I love most about the gospel is that we can truly start over everyday thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I know it to be true because I´ve felt it in my life and have watched it in the lives of others.  “However late you think you are, however, many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made

San Carlos to San Jose

hi everyone!! sorry it's been like what, 4 months?? haha my bad!! updates,  I  was in San Carlos for 6 months!! 1/3 of my mission. haha it was wild. I grew to absolutely love everyone I met there. They feel like my second family, I really am going to miss them so much.  We saw so many miracles in San Carlos. One in particular was a family we found knocking doors, who came to church the very first time we invited them, and never stopped! Every time we talked about baptism though, they got kinda scared haha. So, we tried something else, and instead talked about temples. and the dad goes "so how do we go in??" and we go "well first you have to be a member and get baptized" and he goes "oh well perfect, so when can we get baptized?" haha we were like well hallelujah.  They are on date for Sep 17th! A lot of people here don't have cars, but they happened to have a big, huge van, and the dad offered to drive all the youth to go do a temple trip at the en

The long-awaited email - I don't have the ganas to write a nice put together email hahaha so I'll do that next week. U can send this to the grandma's if u so desire. August, I am still in San Carlos. But I'm glad I'm still here. This ward is sooooo awesome. So awesome. I love them all. (this is part of the family we baptized in May after a youth activity) Here are some cool people I've met 1. José Machado This man right here is so special. His name is Hermano Machado, from Chile. He's very old. He´s 91. Not even joking. He is VERY healthy, probably healthiest than any other Hermano in our barrio. He walks 5 kilómetros a day. He's also a patriarch. We have a man in our ward who was bishop about 6 years ago, then he was excommunicated. Everyone loves gossiping about him, because well there's a lot of drama surrounding him. Well, after who knows how long (6ish years I'm guessing) this brother came back to church for the first time a few weeks
